U.S. Women Make History as Runners Sweep Medals in 100-Meter Hurdles

U.S. runners Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin each claimed a medal in Wednesday’s 100-meter hurdle – a feat no country has ever accomplished in this event.

Rollins, who turns 25 tomorrow, came in first as expected, counting her first gold medal as she clocked 12.48 seconds.

“I just kept God first, [let him] guide me throughout the rounds, let his presence come upon us,” Rollins said after the event. “I’m just so excited, we’re blessed and we came out here and sweeped (sic).”
